Hi, I understand your concern. When a person repeatedly engages in a behaviour even when they don't actually feel sexual desire and feels unable to control it, it can be helpful to explore the compulsive pattern behind the behaviour, rather than focusing only on masturbation itself. As a Counselling Psychologist, I would recommend a proper assessment to understand the triggers, thoughts, emotions, habits, and situations associated with the behaviour. It may be related to stress, anxiety, emotional regulation, habit/conditioning, compulsive patterns, or other factors, so it is important not to self-diagnose.

Hi

Compulsive masturbation can sometimes continue as a learned habit or coping behaviour even when there is little or no sexual desire. It would be important to understand what triggers the behaviour and what function it serves rather than focusing only on stopping it.

Hi, thank you for sharing this. What you are describing sounds less like a problem of sexual desire and more like a repetitive/compulsive behaviour that feels difficult to control. The fact that you sometimes masturbate even when you do not feel sexual desire is important to explore further. Compulsive behaviours can sometimes become a learned response to stress, boredom, anxiety, loneliness, intrusive thoughts or emotional discomfort, and the behaviour may continue even when there is little sexual motivation. However, it would not be appropriate to diagnose the cause based on an online message alone. It would be helpful to consult a Counselling Psychologist who is trained in CBT and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) and has experience working with compulsive behaviours/OCD-spectrum concerns and sexual behaviour concerns. In therapy, the psychologist can explore the triggers, thoughts, emotions and patterns maintaining the behaviour and help you develop healthier ways of responding to urges without automatically acting on them.

Hi...The problem lies in your approach to treatment. You only need to consult a Psychologist and follow the process. You can consult as many Psychologist's or other professionals as much you desire but it is not going to solve your condition. Choosing and staying with the Psychologist of your choice, trusting and following the process is going to help you address your condition. Your masturbation is not a compulsion, it is the outcome of your habits, routine, and various thoughts and emotions that are continuously processing in your subconscious mind and unconscious mind. You need therapy to regulate your thoughts and emotions and to address this unhealthy habit. Problem is that, you are focusing more on the symptom and not upon the root of it. A good therapist/ psychologist can help you bring your focus back to the things that really matter and eventually this habit will also wither away. Remember, masturbation is not a problem but when it starts interfering with your daily life functioning, it becomes a problem that needs clinical intervention to help you solve it.

This may be a compulsive behaviour rather than a sexual desire problem. A psychologist who works with OCD, compulsive behaviours and CBT or ERP therapy would be the right person to consult

It's better you may consult a sexologist

Finding the right psychologist matters, but consistency matters just as much. CBT and other structured therapies need time—you usually cannot judge them after one session. Choose a therapist experienced with compulsive behaviours, commit to the process for several sessions, and review your progress together.
